JF Houle for X Games slopestyle

The guy fucking won a dew tour stop last year with a sick run including a butter 2in, pretzel 2 out. It was by far the most technical trick ever thrown in a slopestyle comp. Last year, he was struggling to have a ski sponsor, pretty sure he didn't have one until the end of his Dew Tour run. He's not invited to the X Games on the 1st round. If he's not invited, I wonder what the fuck is up with those who picks the athletes.

Post to show your support.
Yeah !

The invites are based off of overall contest results, and if I'm not mistaken, he got injured, so he didn't get to compete that much. I agree he should be in, but his overall ranking probably wasn't that good.

It's all political. It's not what you can do but who supports you and what they can get you into. But I would definitely love to see him there, If the X-Games are truely the biggest event then they should have the best competitors possible.

Yup. And I back this motion 130%.

Also, as mentioned, surprised not to see gold medalist Gagnier in there on the first draft.
